2 years out! Wow, can't believe it...
WORTH IT$13,700
Got an email that is has been 2 years since surgery, seems like longer than that in some ways, and shorter than that in others. I am still so incredibly happy with it, best thing I ever did. And it's funny, I was just looking at my pre surgery photos and it made me think, wow, you really do look pretty good now. I will quit over analyzing every little stretch mark or roll that I think I still have.
And want the truth about my boobs, wish I would have went bigger, lol. Don't get me wrong, I love them and they look really natural, which is what I wanted. But all said and done I wish I would have went a teensy bit bigger.
Going to try and get a recent pic put up!

So, Um, I need to get my act together when it...
So, Um, I need to get my act together when it comes to diet. I am not weighing myself right now, I said I wouldn't until after my 6 week mark. But I know what I am shoveling into my mouth is not good :/ I have 3 or 4 really good days and then I am bad over the weekend. What makes it worse is that I always feel like I eat to fuel my exercise and since I am not exercising I kind of feel "lost" on what to eat......
Forgive this next part, but I am making a deceleration on here to get my ass in check and start fueling my body the right way. MFP is my BFF and I am tracking everything. OH and no more drinks either, because I am not training for anything right now my drinking on the weekend has picked up and well that is NOT GOOD AT ALL, coupled with the extra hormones from now bleeding for 13 days from after the Mirena placement. I am a hot mess, lol. but not anymore,TODAY it changes!!!!
Ok, if you read that far you are a saint!
And in actually surgery news, I go for my Tummy lymphatic massage today at the surgery center, they say that it really helps with the extra swelling so I am excited for it.
Happy Healing ladies!

U
My husband will have a cheat day(weekend for hot wings and beer) but that never works for me. I tend to overdo it. If I want a bite of cake or candy I will have a bite, just one then toss it out. I have no willpower. You will be back into the mindset in no time! Just look in the mirror. You have a super flat tummy and muscular runner legs!! Healthy and happy healing.
are you running yet, girl?
LMAO Megan I just read your last update & I just had that same talk with myself on Sunday! My drinking & bad eating picked up big time while Ive been off from working out & this week marks my 1st week back to the gym (no running still). How are you doing? I havent been on in a while
I just read your entire journey and it made my abs hurt because I was laughing.....OMG I need to declare an eating and excersise regimen myself...IDK who the hell I think I am, but now that I can't excersise, Im eating like an obese person....
Hi I'm about 20days PO, Like you I also have vertical sutures from old belly button. I didn't have enough skin to pull down so my vertical sutures don't even meet the hortizonal incision.
There's some puffy skin that almost seems like a fat pocket where my old belly was.I hope it'll get better because I really don't want to go through a revision.
At 3weeks PO I look like i have two belly button..so nasty looking!! How did your old BB healed?

So I never really cared about the stretch marks before, because, well with all the skin that was the least of my worries. Anywho, now I have noticed some pretty good size ones on my hip stick out that much more. Anyone try that bio oil or something of the like and think that it makes a difference?

Megan you sound really good. I am really happy for you. Enjoy your new body, you look sooo good and healthy. Thanks again for your words. :)
Happy Easter hun, you look super, glad the boobie is fixed and can get back to healing, I still cant walk, OMG it is killing me, but I had it way to rough to mess this up so I am watching the food and waiting, it is hard mentally I miss not working out.
Amber, watching my diet is such a pain in the ass without exercise, ugh. Thank goodness for MFP or I think I would be up a lot more. I totally feel off the wagon again yesterday but I am determined to make it through this weekend with flying colors.
You will get back to the gym, but I know it has got to be hard for you. Don't forgot how much skin you had taken off, you really had a hard recovery in front of you :(

Glad to hear that you were up walking 3miles by 2wks. I am making a note of that so that as soon as I am up to it I can ask about walking. You look fabulous. Healthy and happy healing.
Yay! We made it to 4 weeks. Cant wait for the next 2 to be over. You look so great, but I cannot believe you do it all already, you amaze me. I'm using the bio oil on stretch marks but only for 1 week so I donno if it's helping or not yet. I do like the smell & seems like it sort of numbs the area a little. I use it on my boobs cuz I have stretch marks there & my boobs hurt & it makes feel good. I figured it was worth a try.
My boobs have been extra sore lately too, hmmm. Okay, I am going to pick some up today, can't hurt to try I guess.
Thank you, BTW, I did too much I think though because I was stressed out and way over ate myself through the weekend. MUST.GET.BACK.ON.TRACK!

Omg I stress ate this weekend & all this damn candy my kids got has just been calling me, I ended up gaining 2 lbs, so I know what you mean.
Officially back on track today...... I hope lol!
